"Sometimes Fate can be a truly fickle bitch indeed, but she also knows what you need as opposed to what you want."

Synopsis -

A paranormal category romance from Entangled's Covet imprint...

The last thing he wanted was to fall for a witch...

Veterinarian Kat Ramsey hasn't a clue that she's a witch. Sure, she can read minds, and there's the whole "dimension-hopping" issue that she can't quite control, but Kat is determined to keep things normal. That is, until she accidentally hops into the Otherworld, and runs smack into Matthew Ryan―the seriously hot one-night stand from years ago who shoved her out of his dorm. Naked.

And there's the tiny matter of the curse she gave him.

May you never find satisfaction with another woman. Billionaire and former druid Matthew Ryan hasn't forgotten the curse, or the witch who gave it to him. Kat's unexpected return means the curse will finally be broken. Unfortunately, his libido has other ideas―like how to get her back into his bed one last time. But far more worrying is his suspicion that Kat is the seventh Pleiades witch. Because while he's turned his back on his druidic ways, he's still bound to protect the woman who made his life hell...

Review -

When reading the first couple of pages of this book readers may be a little misled, believing this to be no more than a silly romance with a little magic thrown in here and there to call it a Paranormal. They will learn that they couldn't have been farther from the truth. Protecting His Witch is full of action, dimension hopping, mind bending, revelation reaching, Fate ditching, tragedy bearing and yes, a lot of romance, but not the please hand me a barf bag kind.

Kat Ramsey has spent the majority of her life wondering if she truly had magical abilities, or if she was just out of her ever loving mind. Even though she has evidence that she truly does, where, why and how are questions that plague her to no end. Orphaned at a very young age, she has no memories of her biological parents, and no other family to turn to for answers. That she knows of. So, it stands to reason that when Kat meets someone she suspects has their own bit of magic, she would jump at the chance to ask questions about who and/or what she may be. If only that person wasn't the same cheating S.O.B. that put her out of his dorm with nothing more than a sheet.

Matthew Ryan walked away from his Druid life, and has had no desire to walk back into their world under any circumstances. Not that he Matt has any time for anything other than running the "family" business that was thrust upon him after the death of his Step-Father. A job that gives him no satisfaction yet no-one in his circles seem to notice, except a beautiful woman who seems to keep popping into his life when he least expects it. A woman in which placed a curse on him rendering him unable to reach complete satisfaction with anyone other than her. After-all, that would have to be the only reason he finds himself lusting after her at every turn, and wanting her even outside of his bedroom. Surely not fate, right?

Two lovers who cross paths when neither expects it, but when they both truly need it. One trying to escape their fate, the other trying to put the puzzle of her life together. What neither were looking for was love. Whether or not they become emotionally entangled or not, the very fate of the world is depending on them at the very least, working together. If Katherine cannot come to terms with what she is, and fast, her ancestors will begin Armageddon, as promised. Now, all that needs to be done is to get her to stop shifting between dimensions, tell of her true heritage, keep assassins from killing her and stop trying to screw her brains out, not too much on Matt's plate.

Protecting His Witch is a fun, magical read. Not a lot of blood and gore, but plenty of emotion and action. Readers will be kept on their toes from beginning to end.
